Low Carb Noodle Free Lasagna Recipe

March 18, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

This Low Carb Noodle Free Lasagna Recipe features a homemade meat sauce and a flavorful savory ricotta mixture, and is topped with a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

First let’s talk about the elephant in the room; my Low Carb Noodle Free Lasagna Recipe is by no means a classic or authentic lasagna. However, it is jam-packed with flavor, and every bit as delicious as a regular lasagna. (I’ve had both keto and non-keto people ask for seconds, as well as ask for the recipe!) But really, this dish is more of a casserole than a lasagna. It consists of a homemade meat sauce topped with a spiced ricotta cheese mixture, and then a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan on top. Baked until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden and melty, this dish is low carb comfort food at its finest.…

10+ Best Guinness Recipes to Cook and Bake with Beer

March 11, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Because everyone’s favorite Irish stout goes well beyond St. Paddy’s Day festivities, I’m sharing the 10+ Best Guinness Recipes to Cook and Bake with Beer! Every year when St. Paddy’s Day rolls around I buy a 6-pack of Guinness. It’s tradition! I typically make a couple different stews or casseroles and save a bottle or two to enjoy with said stews/casseroles. However, then I’m left with at least two bottles of Guinness in my fridge. (I’m not much of a beer drinker, or drinker at all, lol!) Do I leave it to sit in my fridge until St. Paddy’s Day rolls around next year?! Nope! […]...

Persian Okra Stew (Khoresh Bamieh)

February 20, 2019 by Faith 17 Comments

Persian Okra Stew (Khoresh Bamieh) is a classic Iranian dish of meat stewed with tomatoes, okra, and spices. It’s delicious enough to convert even the most adamant okra haters! Growing up in Upstate New York I never tasted okra until I was a teenager (which could be partly because of geography and partly because of my mother’s huge dislike for it), until one summer when I visited my aunt in North Carolina. We went out for dinner and she ordered fried okra. I don’t remember my feelings on it exactly; I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t something I would necessarily order myself. However, my love for okra and all its […]...

Banh Mi Sandwich with Instant Pot Short Ribs and Quick Pickled Slaw

February 18, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

This is my take on a classic favorite! This Banh Mi Sandwich with Instant Pot Short Ribs and Quick Pickled Slaw is the perfect combination of tender meat and zesty fresh, flavorful slaw. One of the best things about a sandwich (of course in addition to the fact that it’s portable and easy to make), is that you’re able to pack in a ton of flavors and textures. Here I paired braised beef short ribs with a sweet and spicy pickled slaw for the perfect balance....

Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos

February 11, 2019 by Faith 2 Comments

The floral flavor of rose is balanced by the earthy sweetness of vanilla and rooibos in this caffeine free Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos. Normally I’m not a huge fan of floral flavors like rose or lavender, but this Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos is surprisingly mellow. The addition of cream helps with that, and the vanilla and rooibos add complexity. It’s a feminine drink with a surprising balance of earthy and floral flavors and creamy texture. You can use a little beet root powder food coloring if you want to make it pink....

Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

February 4, 2019 by Faith 5 Comments

My Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are thick and chewy with rich buttery flavor, hints of caramel and vanilla, and topped with a touch of flaky sea salt to create a balanced flavor profile. And they were made with love to support a very important cause: Good Cookies Food Bloggers’ Valentines Event organized by Julie! I’m pretty excited about today’s post, not only because of the cookies (that goes without saying), but mostly because of what these cookies are supporting. My dear friend Julie from The Little Kitchen (check out her blog because it’s absolutely beautiful!) organized an event called the Good Cookies […]...

Creamy White Chicken Chili Recipe (Beanless; Keto; Low Carb)

January 21, 2019 by Faith 3 Comments

This low carb and keto friendly Creamy White Chicken Chili Recipe has two kinds of cheese and a little kick from jalapenos! It’s a great way to use rotisserie chicken, and it comes together in less than 30 minutes. I give stovetop instructions, as well as slow cooker and pressure cooker instructions. If you’re a chili purist, don’t avert your eyes! Yes, this Creamy White Chicken Chili Recipe has chicken…and no beans…and neither a tomato product nor chili powder in sight, lol. But I promise it’s pretty fantastic; delicious is a given, but it’s also easy to make, fun to top with whatever suits your […]...
